Sir Paul Silk

In his talk, Sir Paul will look back at the Silk Commission years, give his personal views on the process and on the experience of chairing the commission, and share his ideas regarding the changes that might be seen following the reports.

Speaking ahead of the seminar, Dr Anwen Elias, Director of the Institute of Welsh Politics, said:

“The Institute of Welsh Politics are very glad to welcome Sir Paul Silk back to the Department of International Politics a year after the publication of the second part of the Silk Commission Report. The continuous discussions involved around the future of devolution in Wales and the UK certainly makes this an exciting time to hear Sir Paul Silk’s views and vision on the way forward for this ‘Un-tied Kingdom’, and we are very glad to work alongside the Centre for Welsh Legal Affairs in organising this event”.
